The Significance of Air Barriers in Building Construction: Air barriers provide more energy-efficient, durable and comfortable buildings. A study completed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology NISTIR 7238 “Investigation of the Impact of Commercial Building Envelope Airtightness on HVAC Energy Use” by Emmerlich, McDowell and Anis) in 2005 indicates that air barriers reduce building energy use from heating and cooling by up to 37%. The economic benefit of energy savings is obvious, as the cost of energy continues to skyrocket. On a grander scale, important efforts at the national political level include plans to reduce dependence on foreign oil and to lessen our negative impact on the environment. Residential and commercial buildings use 40% of U.S. energy and contribute about 38% of carbon dioxide emissions. With the potential to provide huge energy savings throughout this segment, air barriers factor heavily into these national policies!

CCW Air & Vapor Barrier Membranes These are ideal for use in wall systems that require both an air and vapor barrier. Usually, these types of wall systems are employed in climates with long, cold winters or in persistently warm, humid climates. Combining the air and vapor barrier into one application provides efficiency and better performance. This practice also enables omission of sheet plastic vapor retarders from the interior side of wall assemblies in cold climates. As shown in the drawing of Wall Design A, properly constructed walls that employ combined air and vapor barriers keep the dew point outside of the membrane yearround. This strategic layering of materials prevents trapping or accumulation of moisture. In the event of leaks or built-in moisture, the wall can also dry readily to the interior.

Air & Vapor Barriers • Waterproofing Membranes • Drainage Composites • Deck Coatings
CCW-705 Air & Vapor Barrier 40-Mil Self-Adhering Membrane CCW-705 Air & Vapor Barrier is a 40-mil thickness membrane, which consists of a tough, cross-laminated HDPE film fully coated with polymer-modified asphalt adhesive. The membrane is coated with a disposable silicone paper release liner, which is removed during application. CCW-705 Air & Vapor Barrier is offered in convenient roll sizes of 36” x 75’, 24” x 100’ and 18” x 100’. Through simple peel-and-stick application, the product can be applied to diverse substrates including concrete, concrete block, gypsum sheathing, plywood, OSB and many others. All surfaces require preparation with a CCW contact adhesive to ensure strong, permanent adhesion. CCW-705 is cut from the roll to manageably sized pieces, and adhered to the substrate. Installation is sequenced to provide shingled laps of adjacent pieces. Non-shingled laps, end laps, corner details, brick tie penetrations and similar potential leak paths are sealed with CCW-704 or LM 800 XL detail mastic. CCW-705 LT Air & Vapor Barrier is also available to enable installation at lower ambient temperatures. CCW-705 Air & Vapor Barrier with accessory products is a complete system of factory-controlled thickness and composition that can be installed in just about any season without the use of special tools or equipment.
CCW-705 TWF Application
Barriseal-S Spray-Applied Air & Vapor Barrier Barriseal-S is a water-based, polymermodified asphalt emulsion that is applied through approved spray equipment. The product is solvent free and odor free, so it can be sprayed safely, even within enclosed spaces. Applied at minimum 40 mils cured thickness, Barriseal-S is a highly elastic, rubber-like membrane that provides a waterproof, airtight and vapor-proof barrier. The product can be applied over concrete block, concrete, exterior gypsum sheathing, plywood, OSB and many other common building materials without the use of primer. Barriseal-S is applied from 55-gallon drums through co-spray with Barricure, an aqueous, chloride-free curing agent. Cospray application provides high thickness build and quick cure at just about any Barritech VP Application

Barriseal-S is firm and dry to the touch almost instantly, which also provides instant rain resistance. Unlike one-part products, Barriseal-S will not wash off in the event of a sudden rain shower. Barriseal-S is also one of the few waterbased products that can be sprayed well below freezing temperatures. As it’s a fluidapplied product, Barriseal-S provides monolithic coverage over complex surfaces that would be difficult or impossible to cover with sheet products. Spray of Barriseal-S enables fast coverage in a single coat, which yields high productivity and generally a lower installed cost compared to sheet products or roll-on products.

Roller-Applied Air & Vapor Barrier Barriseal-R is a water-based, polymermodified asphalt emulsion. The product’s paste-like consistency affords easy coverage and thickness build with a medium to long nap roller. Barriseal-R can be applied over concrete block, concrete, exterior gypsum sheathing, plywood, OSB and many other common building materials without the use of primer. Barriseal-R can be used to cover an entire project, or for touch-ups, repairs and details on Barriseal-S projects. The product is odor free, solvent free and air-dries to form a rubber-like, fully adhered air and vapor barrier. Barriseal-R is applied from 5-gallon pails in two sequential 30wet-mil coats, which dry to form a 40-mil membrane. As the product is air-drying, it must be applied at ambient temperatures of 40°F or higher. Like Barriseal-S, Barriseal-R provides monolithic coverage and can present a less costly and more effective installation compared to sheet products.
Vapor-Permeable Air Barrier Membrane This type of membrane is ideal for use in wall systems that require an air barrier but not a vapor barrier. Usually, these types of wall systems are employed in milder climates that still have heating and cooling seasons, but do not have long, cold winters or persistent exterior humidity. Often in these climates, walls are built with all of the insulation placed between the studs. In this type of construction, there is often a dew point within the stud cavity. As shown in the drawing of Wall Design B properly constructed walls that employ
C A R L I S L E
vapor-permeable membranes allow drying in both directions. This strategic layering of materials prevents trapping or accumulation of moisture and allows for drying of leaks and built-in moisture.
Barritech VP Fluid-Applied, Vapor-Permeable Air Barrier Barritech VP is a fluid-applied membrane that functions as an air barrier and a water resistive barrier while allowing passage of water vapor. Barritech VP is water based, low VOC and low odor, which makes it safe and pleasant to use. Barritech VP is a single-component, air-drying product packaged in 55-gallon drums and 5-gallon pails. Since the product is air drying, it must be applied at ambient temperatures 40°F or higher. Barritech VP can be applied over concrete block, concrete, exterior gypsum sheathing, plywood, OSB and many other common building materials without the use of primer. The product is applied through approved spray equipment in a single

60-wet-mil coat or with a medium nap roller in two sequential 30-wet-mil coats. In either application, the product dries to a 40-mil thickness membrane. Barritech VP provides monolithic coverage and can present a less costly and more effective installation compared to sheet products. Because Barritech VP is vapor-permeable, it can be readily used in place of conventional building wrap products. Barritech VP presents a significant upgrade when compared to these products. Most building wraps are not air barriers. Also, they are generally not sealed at laps and will not seal around penetrating fasteners. Breaches in the installation of non-adhered building wrap products allow air and moisture to travel freely between the wrap and the substrate. Barritech VP is fully adhered to the substrate, while the high film thickness and flexible, elastic properties enable it to bridge cracks and seal around penetrations. These properties give Barritech VP a level of performance above and beyond that of building wraps.

Pre-Kleened™ EPDM TWF
Barricure
Through-Wall Flashing
Chloride-Free Co-Spray for Barriseal-S
Pre-Kleened EPDM TWF is a 40-mil thickness, non-reinforced EPDM rubber membrane with the talc factory-cleaned from surfaces. This is the same EPDM offered for many years by Carlisle SynTec in the company’s renowned single-ply roof systems. Pre-Kleened EPDM is designed for use as a through-wall flashing in masonry wall and cavity wall construction. PreKleened EPDM is mechanically attached or bonded in place with adhesive. Unlike PVC flashings, EPDM will not become brittle over time in the cavity wall environment. PreKleened EPDM is a thermoset, UV-resistant rubber. Therefore, the product will not cold-flow, decompose or stain the building façade when it is installed flush or protruding beyond the exterior cladding. Pre-Kleened EPDM TWF is offered in 100’ rolls of convenient 36”, 24”, 18” and 12” widths. CCW also provides a number of Sure-Seal® brand accessory products required for this product’s installation including bonding adhesive, splice tape, splicing cement, lap sealant, in-seam sealant, water cut-off mastic, termination bars and self-adhering inside-outside corners. Pre-Kleened EPDM plus Sure-Seal brand accessories comprise a unique, highperformance through-wall flashing system sourced from a single manufacturer.
Barricure is provided in 5-gallon pails as a liquid concentrate, which is diluted at a 3:1 ratio by volume with tap water. The Barricure solution provides instant set of Barriseal-S when sprayed through approved equipment. Unlike calcium chloride flakes, Barricure is clean and easy to use, nonabrasive and non-corrosive. Use of Barricure solution instead of calcium chloride flakes ensures longevity of spray equipment and compliance with specifications for chloridefree systems.
Accessories CCW provides many accessory items that are crucial for the performance of the membrane air barrier and flexible flashing systems. Sourcing the product and accessories from a single manufacturer takes the guesswork out of the application and provides assurance of a proven system, backed and warranted by the manufacturer’s best warranties.
DCH Reinforcing Fabric is used to provide coverage and reinforcement at joint and corner details in Barritech™ VP and Barriseal-S/R systems. To apply DCH Reinforcing Fabric, coat substrate generously with liquid membrane, immediately lay in fabric, and roll on more liquid membrane to fully encapsulate fabric.
